Summary
$823,272 in liabilities against just $2,560 in assets pushed MidBoss, the studio behind 2064: Read Only Memories, into Chapter 7 under a voluntary June filing.
The debt stack includes $138,980 across four loans, $87,985 in royalty shares to about a dozen people, $64,000 owed to one individual in revenue share, and a disputed $404,538 equity claim from Tom Kaitchuck.
Matt Conn signed the filing as interim CEO and is also listed as a creditor for a $70,922 shareholder loan and $13,748 in royalties, despite stepping down in 2018 after abuse and sexual-harassment accusations.
The Read Only Memories IP and MidBoss's Gaming in Color documentary are listed as assets without stated values, leaving the fate of the franchise and in-development projects All AI Must Die and The Artificial Artist unclear.
